You saw bonsai where...!

Post by Steven »

G'day,

I just picked up this box of Symphony brand tissues with a bonsai on them.

Wondering what other things everyone might have or have seen that has a bonsai on them?

What were you doing watching Hi-5 Jarrod?

The Lipton Ice Tea ad with Hugh Jackman where he is dancing in the hotel lobby in Japan. See YouTube clip here.

They had it on in the reception of my work. They called me down when they saw the trees, was very amusing. Dont have time to try and find the clip.

That new ad is great. Then you realise its for a tea that has as much sugar in it as coke!

Cheers

Patty Hughes has a really spindly sad excuse of a juniper on her window ledge in the Foxtel show Damages.

Interesting thread.
